2026 and 28 will be blue waves the likes we've never seen before. There's no larger voting bloc than voters who are 65 or older.

to even vote. I am just so pissed at this whole gawd damn administration and all Repubs, and all the damn MAGA’s that voted this piece of shit in. 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

I'm probably more angry with them than anyone.

I consider those to be mortal sins in the Catholic vernacular... not merely venial.

I think Elmo had something to do with it. Trump himself said he helped him win Pennsylvania.

They baldface lie and their followers scoop that shit up and ask for seconds.

her questions defended tRump when she bought him up, the SSA person got upset with her so maybe some tRumpster workers are helping with the fraud reporting.

I know, I know, but once in a blue moon one will have a neurosynapse causing them to make a rational comment...
Hope springs eternal...

Out of the total amount of fraud committed, 40% of that amount took place over the phone. That’s different, Shady.

Claims of widespread fraud in Social Security were misleading, with fraud representing just 0.00625% of the annual budget, far less than what private companies like Mastercard or Visa would accept.

Answer: It's coming from inside the house...the White House.

Holy fuck, when will this shit show end?

2 legitimately and 2 lied to get disability.

I believe there is fraud among those who claim disability. I've seen the qualifying forms (I helped one that was a legitimate claim).

For example, one illegitimate claim was based on depression. According to the form, you have to be unable to care for yourself and pretty much non functioning. She participates in local theater.

No fan of this administration, and I wish they would fund SS so fraudulent disability claims could be discovered.

in society and in their community. Unless you are very close to someone collecting disability you can't possibly know their exact situation. I know people who look great on the outside but it's complete chaos on the inside while access to services they need are scarce.

A family member on disability for depression was judged by people for improving or ‘seeming to be fine’. Participating in life does not mean the medical problem does not exist anymore. All of the judgement from others delayed his finding a life balance in handling his condition.

And -- as someone who had to jump through all the hoops when helping my elderly mom apply for Medicaid, it took almost a year to get approved when she needed the care IMMEDIATELY -- I know that getting approved for disability is just as difficult, if not more so.

Rest assured that how many people are gaming the system through fraudulent means, there are probably 4x as many people that deserve the benefits and yet can't get them because of all roadblocks they put in their way to getting approved.

Really unusual!

pretty high ratio that doesn't bear any relationship to the statistics

the women of the house work fulltime jobs while the men are on disability. Most have grown chlldren who no longer live at home. Some used attorneys to get their disabled status.

But I see them putting roofing on their mobile homes, carrying deer carcasses or 80-pound bags of deer corn around. Several have unreported side hustles doing well pump, air-conditioning or electrical repair work. One man said his monthly disability check is only $1,800/mo. and his wife's salary is $50,000/yr. plus bonuses. (I hadn't asked, he volunteered that info.)

Given the corruption in DC, I don't begrudge these people doing as well as they can, but do believe most fraud that is found in the system is likely related to disability. BTW, every one of these men voted for djt.

The ability to do some physical things, at a pace under their own control, does not mean they are not disabled. If, for example, their disability is PTSD it would not impair their ability to put roofing on their own home, carry deer carcasses, or 80 pound bags of deer corn around. But it might impair their ability to work around with others, or show up to a job regularly enough to maintain employment.

I have a disability - a back injury. I've had it since the 1980s. I'm not on disability, but I did receive a partial permanent disability payment for it under worker's compensation. My back injury is an atypical one - it bothers me when I a sitting - not when I'm active. I can lift 50 lbs without a problem - as long as I don't have to hang it off my right arm. But put me in the wrong chair for 15 minutes and I'm in agony for a month. Of course the worker's comp doctors tested for the more common manifestations of back injury.

Unless you were their attorney, or otherwise know them well enough to have seen their applications - and specific instances of lying - you don't know they are committing fraud. Life is hard enough for people with disabilities, without all of the spurious allegations that they are committing fraud in order to get the meager living allowance SSI offers.

Your situation and experience is exactly like my own. It's exhausting explaining it, though. Well done.

(My back issues are also the same--the sitting/the chair, yikes!)

You know, not just one, but several people on disability, all men, all with working wives.

And you watch them closely enough to see them working on roofs, hauling deer carcasses, hauling deer corn, and even working on the side.

I'd wager that the vast majority of people know one, at most, people who are on SSI disability. More likely, zero.

But it's good you're out there keeping an eye on a whole crowd of grifters!

documentation and doctor visits, and attended their hearings as a witness. The third was getting disability for a physical condition that, to my observation, was not that severe. However, as I pointed out to several people, her mental condition certainly warranted it, so I really didn't care, so long as she was covered somehow.



*This only refers to SSI. My history and acquintance with the VA system is far more extensive, and unpleasant.

to be a valid recipient of SSI?

Do you have a medical degree? Did you sit in on the evaluation process for this person? Are you their lawyer?

Invisible disabilities can be every bit as disabling as visible ones. And participating in social activities may mean the difference between life and death for someone with disabling depression, even if the depression is so severe that employment is not possible. You are not required to lock yourself away simply because you are receiving SSI. The test is the ability to participate in substantial gainful activity (not "unable to care for yourself and pretty much non functioning&quot . Substantial gainful activity, generally, is the ability to earn $1550 or more per month. My own participation in local theater on average, would not come close to that - even if I were paid, to address the specific allegation you made as to why this person is faking it.

(I am an attorney, I have a daughter with an invisible physical disability. She doesn't yet need SSI, but many of her peers with the same disease do. She also struggles with depression, which is notoriously hard to treat. From those perspectives, I know how hard it is to obtain SSI. I doubt either of the "illegitimate" claims are actually illegitimate.)

from the ground only by his pubic hair and then left for public display.

It's the only way we'll be free of these ##!? freeloaders.

It is overseen by the SSA, but is a completely separate program.

https://www.ssa.gov/redbook/eng/overview-disability.htm?

If there is THAT MUCH FRAUD in those calls WHERE ARE THE CHARGES?

WHERE ARE THE RECORDS? WHERE IS THE PROOF?

There isn't any because this is all lies.

Seriously

They drive around in their little motorized carts paid by Medicare and holler about getting the gubmint off their backs.

I saw one lose it ahead of me in line at the doctor's office. No clue. Absolutely no clue how fortunate they were to be covered by government assistance, all while hollering about Obama.

We have to protest like our lives depend on it now, because they do. Trump has plans to kill off thousands of us and disappear even more of us into prisons without due process.

Usha says it’s ok to have a second round with that couch.

What kind of fraud is he committing?

If you don't make at least $200K a year you don't get anything. Reward the wealthy, starve the rest.

He's a fucking liar.

Because I would have been stationed at the same base as Cpl. Vance (MCAS Cherry Pt., NC) and make him do something that gets him demoted to Private. His CO would have ask him about all those couch f***in' photos that surfaced.

Impeachments and removal from offices need to start happening immediately.

if you don't like broken things, then you're fraud. Either way, no more social security payments for you. Cruelty is the point.

Are arrests being made? People being charged?

to destroy social security. I'll say it again. They are building the narrative to destroy the system. “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” 70 million American lives depend upon the social security system. Are they going to let those Americans starve?



The above quote is attributed to many people.

Does anyone actually take this asswipe seriously? Maybe Usha, but that's all.

Elon and the doge crew said. So that is what Vance is repeating. They (doge) made this claim to justify having people come to the office in person. They claim nearly 40 percent of the calls are made by people trying to steal others identity. I have no idea if this is true. If it really is, what is the best way to handle it? I’ve never had to call for anything, so I have no idea what’s required to change deposit status. I know people on ss. I’ve never heard of any having (bank fraud) happen to them, have any of you?

shouldn't get anything either. The Reagan 'welfare mom who drives a cadillac' syndrome.

It’s more like 1 in 10,000.

Your mascara will be running when we're done with you.

Have you noticed that the lying continues to become ever more grandiose? Before long 110% of the callers are going to be committing fraud.

and he knows and we know it! go away D-bag

The assholes that voted for Shitler can all go fuck the hell off!

voluntarily calls SS if they don't have to? I'd sooner learn how to print counterfeit money than deal with that.

If a number seems unbelievable, it probably is.
This 40% thing is one of those.

Have no idea how many were successful and how many were stopped

Given that there's nary a word in the clip about scammers or banking info.

But perhaps you're just better tuned in to JD than I am.

He becomes whatever the creeps around him want him to be. and he has terrible taste in companions-- Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Donald Trump.

stock portfolios, trust funds and pension plans.

Hey everyone knows that.

the truth on Trump's policies. Lutnick did this same thing last week so it is a feature not a bug.

Everyone wants to hope and believe what they see with their eyes isn't happening, but it is.

I gave up on the corporate media but Dems should be screaming about this.
